What is the relationship between a guest operating system and a host operating system in a system like VMware what factors need to be considered in choosing the host operating system?

Asked by Wiki User

A host operating system is the operating system that is in direct communication with the hardware. It has direct hardware access to kernel mode and all of the devices on the physical machine. The guest operating system runs on top of a virtualization layer and all of the physical devices are virtualized. A host operating system should be as modular and thin as possible to allow the virtualization of the hardware to be as close to the physical hardware as possible, and so that dependencies that exist in the host operating don't restrict operation in the guest operating system.

What is the difference between ESX 3.5 and ESX 4.0 versions?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The difference between ESX 3.5 and ESX 4 is substantially the arch they use.

ESX 3.5 is x86 based (32bit) while ESX 4 is based on x86_64 (64bit).

At least ESX 4 is the newer version that fits into the VMware vSphere environment, the older ESX 3.x products are part of the VMware Virtual Infrastructure (VI).

What file system is used by vmware?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Virtual Machine File System is Cluster_file_system. It is used by VMware_ESX_Server,

It was developed and is used to store Virtual_machinedisk images, including snapshots. Multiple servers can read/write the same filesystem simultaneously, while individual virtual machine files are locked. VMFS volumes can be logically "grown" (non-destructively increased in size) by spanning multiple VMFS volumes together. It is not mandatory to use VMFS with VMware; an alternative is Network_File_System_(protocol).
